Joney Faragher to request leave to introduce Private Members Bill
An MHK has outlined plans to secure the provision of free period products on the Island.
In the House of Keys next week, Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher will request leave to introduce a Private Members' Bill on the matter.
Earlier this year she backed a campaign by the group Manx Menstrual Movement which hopes, like Scotland, to make period products freely available to anyone who needs them.
Ms Faragher she wants it to address period poverty in two ways:
Five IOM women recognised in King's Birthday Honours
Police issue statement after reports female 'grabbed by her arm'
Option to relocate dementia patients no longer being considered by Manx Care
'Multitude of late boat arrivals' impacting customer numbers, says business
